Use the freedom to fulfil all your needs

The tie-bar-less ENGEL victory is a proven all-rounder among injection moulding machines. Its
flexible modular system makes it extremely well suited for producing many different technically
complex and thick-walled parts of the highest quality. Its tie-bar-less technology, which has proven
itself for over 25 years, enables you to use a relatively small injection moulding machine even for
large moulds. You therefore only need to invest in the clamping force you actually require and
have more room for new ideas.

ENGEL victory more freedom for your production

The ENGEL victory is the ideal basic machine for many different applications and a wide range of
technologies, because with no tie-bars, it offers advantages in precisely those areas many would
never think of. Its excellent platen parallelism provides particularly even distribution of the clamping
force and the best possible protection for the mould. This also guarantees consistent part quality
even in multiple-cavity applications. In addition, the ENGEL victory impresses with very low energy
consumption levels which are due to its efficient drive technology. This is not only good for the environment, but also for your budget.

ENGEL victory advantages

Large mould area

The advantages of the barrier-free mould area are particularly noticeable when large moulds or
bulky core pulls are being used. The generous dimensions of the mould mounting platens can be
used right up to the edges and often beyond.
Excellent energy efficiency
The low friction levels, closing pressure lock-in and ENGEL ecodrive system make it possible to match
the energy efficiency levels achieved by all-electric machines in the production of technically complex
parts.
Outstanding availability
More productivity thanks to short set-up times: the lack of tie bars means moulds can be changed
quickly even when they are large and bulky. The low-friction robust design also keeps the maintenance costs for the machine extremely low.
Ideal for automation
Integration made easy: benefit from faster part removal, a smaller machine footprint and the lower machine height made possible by horizontal access to the mould area.
Optimal mould protection
The central Flex-Link element enables the moving mould mounting platen to follow the mould precisely while the clamping force is building up: the platen lifts itself from the linear bearings, automatically aligns the platen parallelism to the current mould parallelism and thus distributes the clamping
force evenly across the entire mould cross section. As a result, transverse forces are prevented,
prolonging the service life of the mould.
Consistent party quality
The hydraulic ENGEL injection units boast outstanding injection process control the standard
clamped injection piston responds extremely quickly and sensitively to any changes to the control
parameters. In addition, the patented force divider provides optimal distribution of the clamping
force and therefore uniform compression across the entire mould cross section. Regardless of
whether a part is moulded at the centre or the edge of the mould, the ENGEL victory ensures consistent quality, especially when the mould contains a high number of cavities.
Perfect clean room compatibility
The tie-bar-less mould area reduces air turbulence and the low-emission drive technology without
fans (the ENGEL ecodrive system is optional) making the ENGEL victory perfectly suited to clean
room production.

ENGEL victory clamping unit

Precise clamp system

Each tie-bar-less clamping unit is aligned precisely prior to delivery using the highly sensitive platen
parallelism adjustment mechanism. This guarantees a long service life for both the machine and the
moulds used. As the clamping force increases, the platen parallelism of the ENGEL victory automatically adapts to the mould parallelism. This unique advantage is realised through the innovative
Flex-Link system.
Heavy moulds
Heavy moulds are no problem for the tie-bar-less clamping unit. The high-precision platen parallelism is adequately ensured by the preloaded tension of the Flex-Link system and support provided
by the solid C frame. And thanks to the use of additional bearings to support the moving mould half,
the mould weight can be increased almost without limits.
Ergonomic operation
The tie-bar-less technology makes working in the mould area easy and comfortable the operator
can carry out all important tasks such as cleaning and spraying without having to stoop down and
reach between tie-bars. And this is possible from any angle.

protecting the mould

durable

Smaller machines
The smaller machine size allows up to 10% more parts to be produced on the same floorspace: the
large and freely accessible mould area means that an ENGEL victory machine with a considerably
lower maximum clamping force can be used than would normally be necessary to use a mould
of the same size on a tie-bar machine. This is a significant advantage, especially in multiple-cavity
applications, because then the required clamping force is usually very low compared to the mould
size. The smaller dimensions also provide an extra bonus: there is more room for peripheral equipment or additional production cells.
Outstanding energy efficiency
The tie-bar-less principle provides significant advantages when it comes to resource-friendly production: in particular, the precise guide system with ball-bearings, the absence of tie-bar friction
and the clamp pressure lock-in significantly increase energy efficiency. And if you add ENGEL's
optional ecodrive system, you will save the maximum amount of energy possible with your ENGEL
victory.

The tie-bar-less principle - best conditions for your mould

Correct mounting matters!

Whether your machine has tie-bars or not, please make sure that the two halves of the mould are
aligned perfectly at all times. Even after they have been mounted, the alignment can still be changed by processes such as mould temperature changes. If a deviation in the alignment remains
unnoticed, it can lead to parting line problems and/or increased mould wear.

10_ENGEL victory

Optimal support for mould weigth

One special feature of tie-bar-less ENGEL injection
moulding machines is their solid frame. The clamping unit is given optimal support and suffers no
deflection even with very heavy moulds. Thanks to
additional linear bearings available for the moving
mould half, the mould weight can be increased
almost without limit.

Dynamics of the stationary

mould mounting platen
In contrast to other machine designs, the stationary
mould mounting platen is not connected with the
frame at the bottom end, but at its back. This way
it absorbs the machine's vibrations in a symmetric
manner and remains parallel to the moving platen
even during acceleration and deceleration.

Exact platen parallelism

Each tie-bar-less clamping unit is aligned precisely prior to delivery using the highly sensitive platen parallelism adjustment mechanism. ENGEL's
parallelism tolerances are significantly lower than
those of the EUROMAP norm. As the patented
force dividers are preloaded, the platen parallelism remains constant even when the mould is
mounted.

Optimal mould protection

The flexible central elements (Flex-Links) make it
possible for the platen parallelism to adapt perfectly to the parallelism of the mould. In this process,
the moving platen is lifted out of its bearings. In
this way, when the mould is mounted correctly,
a constant compression is achieved, completely
preventing any transverse forces and thus increasing the life span of the mould.

Perfect guidance for the

moving mould mounting platens
No turning and no tilting: thanks to three-point
guidance two precise linear bearings and the
central clamping piston the moving mounting
platen retains its alignment even while the mould
is opening and closing.

Even clamping force distribution

No matter whether the cavities are centred or
located on the edge of the mould mounting platen, they all are subject to exactly the same level
of clamping force. The patented force dividers
make sure that the clamping force is distributed
evenly over the entire mould mounting platen.
This guarantees a consistently high part quality
even in multiple-cavity moulds.

ENGEL victory injection unit

Excellent injection process control

The hydraulic ENGEL injection units are distinguished by their excellent injection process control.
Compared to conventional injection controllers, the 'clamped system' of injection pistons included
in the standard version with the highly sensitive electronic controllers reacts extremely quickly to
disturbing influences and any process-related changes. This guarantees injection moulded parts of
excellent quality and a high degree of reproduction accuracy.
Flexible injection performance
The ENGEL victory's injection performance is designed for the production of complex technical
parts. If a higher injection performance is needed, for example for very thin-walled parts, the performance can be increased using optional hydraulic accumulators. The injection process is then
controlled by valves.
Efficient plastification drive
The plasticising drive is powered by a hydraulic motor which is available in two sizes for each injection unit. Besides the standard hydraulic motor, a motor for higher torques is available as an option.
Thus, the drive can be adapted to match the plasticising unit and the injected material to be processed ensuring good energy efficiency. With the choice of an appropriate right hydraulic system,
the plastification drive can be operated simultaneously with the mould movements.
Plasticising units for any application
A range of barrel and screw configurations is available to configure the plasticising unit specifically
for the respective application. The plasticising unit is pressed torque-free against the mould, whereas the required force is set on the machine control unit.

Place your trust in more flexibility thanks to modular hydraulic variations. It does not matter whether
it is for parts easy to demould, for complex moulds with simultaneous movements or for applications requiring high injection performance: ENGEL has been relying on highly efficient hydraulic
drive units to meet any requirement profile for many years. Thus we already set new standards in
energy efficiency and process control more than 20 years ago when we replaced PQ hydraulics
with EHV hydraulics. Our new optional servo-hydraulic system, ENGEL ecodrive, now combines
the advantages of hydraulics with the advantages of a servo drive. This has once again increased
control accuracy and energy efficiency considerably.

Closing pressure lock-in

All movements and pressures for the individual machine movements are, of course, regulated hydraulically. But where it makes sense when holding the clamping force and nozzle contact force
the required pressure is maintained hydraulically, which reduces the holding energy to zero. As the
cycle time increases, the energy savings grow to a substantial level.

ENGEL automation

Smaller footprint
Opting for a tie-bar-less injection moulding machine often means a smaller machine can be used.
As a result, moulds frequently use the whole platen surface. The automation can therefore be
installed closer to the mould, which saves space.
Lower ceiling height
Production can take place without problems and risk of collision in low halls or beneath crane runways because the robot does not need to move out of the mould in an upward direction.
Shorter production cycles
The cycle time can be shortened by the direct horizontal movements of the robot in and out of the
mould area, particularly in the case of complex automation.
Smart robot operation
The new wizard for the robot and integration into the machine control unit make this possible!

The injection moulding machine is in many cases

only one element of the whole production cell,
which is often complex. Robots and automation
components perform a wide spectrum of tasks.
They range from placing inserts in and removing parts
from the mould to mounting and checking operations
and to packaging finished products. The key to cost-effectiveness usually lies in the efficiency of the concept as
a whole and not of the individual components by themselves. And it is precisely here that the ENGEL victory
offers decisive advantages in the overall solution thanks
to its tie-bar-less benefits.

Integrated automation
The tie-bar-less design provides ideal conditions for integrating automation into the machine. The
robot movements remain within a slightly widened machine safety gate. After a short horizontal
movement, it places the parts on a conveyor belt placed near the mould mounting platens. Smaller footprints, lower system heights, smaller robot sizes and the elimination of additional safety
guarding for each robot secure lower investment costs and better utilisation of the production
floor space.
Fast sprue removal
The ENGEL victory offers optimum conditions for fast and reliable sprue take-off by the sprue picker. Sprue drop chutes are available as an option for the rear safety gate.
Comprehensive system competence
ENGEL designs and delivers complete system solutions in which all the components interact in
perfect harmony with each other, from the injection moulding machine and robot to other automation peripheral units. This is a guarantee for excellent part quality, stable processes and maximum
productivity, regardless of whether the production task is simple or highly complex.
